Licensed California Business Broker • 100% Confidential • No Upfront Fees
The Small Business Administration's 7(a) loan program is the single most important financing source for business acquisitions under $5M. Exit Clue's SBA-financed-sale service gets your business pre-qualified before listing — which means qualified buyers can put down as little as 10% and finance the rest, dramatically expanding your buyer pool and the prices they'll pay. We work with 4–5 specific SBA lenders in San Diego who underwrite business acquisitions well.
How It Works
- Step 1
SBA Eligibility Review
We assess your business against SBA 7(a) requirements — clean financials, eligible industry, owner-occupancy if applicable, no major compliance issues.
- Step 2
Pre-Qualification Package
Lender-ready package: 3 years tax returns, 3 years P&L, balance sheet, asset list, real estate detail, owner add-back schedule.
- Step 3
Lender Pre-Qualification
We submit the package to 2–3 SBA lenders for written pre-qualification. Buyers can rely on these letters during diligence.
- Step 4
Buyer-Side Loan Coordination
When a buyer is selected, we coordinate the loan from application through closing — managing the typical 90–120 day SBA approval timeline.
